Sunbar ◊ 2009-03-10 20:34	Yes, looks like a 1950 MkIII with steel wheels rather than military.
Sandie ◊ 2013-10-10 00:55	Same location in 2009: http://goo.gl/maps/R8KPN (not up to date as the tram tracks are not there yet).

Sunbar ◊ 2014-07-09 11:46	Series II - not 'six-light' series III
Sunbar ◊ 2014-07-09 13:21	1949 for Series II as documented here... "In 1949 the Oxford taxi was specified with heavy duty clutch more powerful brakes and easy-clean wheels. A year later in 1950 later two fixed quarterlights were fitted giving the appearance of a modern cab".
